Version 0.37
This update gives you the ability to train your staff! In addition, it adds a Staff Details screen which provides a little more detail on each member of your studio.
There are also a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
- Staff Training added. Different training types will provide differing boosts to specific staff stats on top of a random element depending on how well the training went. Training costs funds and reduces staff energy. More training types are unlocked through increasing studio level. Each staff member can receive training once per month, this amount can also be increased at higher studio levels.
- Added Staff Details screen. Screen includes full details on current staff stat point scores and progress to next stat level, as well as procedurally generated staff description. Placeholders for staff skills and awards. Opening the Staff Details screen closes the Staff Sidebar panel. You can navigate to different staff details from within the Staff Details screen.
- The Character sidebar is now closed when opening the Character Details screen. You can navigate to different character details from within the Character Details screen.
- Added a CLEAR button to remove previously assigned character titles and revert the field back to empty.
- Fix for a crash that occured when loading a game that was saved when one show had stopped being made, but before a new show was begun. This lead to a crash as there wasn't a show theme set yet to determine what the stage should be. Now if there isn't a show theme set when loading a game, create a stage using the previous show's theme.
- Hopefully a fix for a crash related to the lead writer generating points. When you assign writers to an episode then close the screen the writers remain assigned, so if you then fire a writer you can still make them lead writer even through they aren't there. Firing a writer now removes them from the assigned writers list on top of the other lists. Did this for other job types to be on the safe side, although I think it already wasn't possible with them due to other checks.
- Fix for story interest changes (from themes that have a chance to give interest bonus for number of cards of a certain type) compounding over time rather than being reset to 0 for each episode.
- Fix for the 'No Moon' character combo not working correctly.
- The correct platform name will now be shown on contract renewal screens.
- Character Titles should be assigned to the correct character now (the one with the details panel open, not the one with the side panel open).
There are also a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
